Already Tried:
this is my first try and the girl that they brought from albina knows nothing about the charges against him this is just for him to become a citizen but he has been here for 6 years but with his record that isn't going to happen there is a possibilty that they will deport him after he serves his time but if he marries the girl maybe he can stay in our country I know all this because we work together his father and the girl came on august 10 the father went there to find someone for him to help

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question.

 

If this lady was to obtain a green card through the lottery, she would be able to petition for her spouse to obtain legal status, once her status is cemented. However, whether the petition would be granted would be left up to the discretion of the immigration authorities. If he entered the country illegally and/or has charges pending against him (especially if they are of a serious nature), it is very possible that the immigration authorities will deny any application that is submitted on his behalf, which could ultimately lead to his deportation.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions, or require clarification of this matter. Otherwise please hit "ACCEPT", so I may receive credit for my response. Tips and feedback are also appreciated.

 

Good Luck!
